- Reason
- This early map of the New World has already been selected as a featured picture on the Turkish and Arabic Wikipedia. It famously incorporates an early depiction of the Caribbean from the Voyages of Christopher Columbus. It was created at a point in time when the Ottoman Empire was still a major power in Europe. It is likely most famous for the disproven theory that it depicted an ice-free Antarctica.

- Obvious support if quality is OK, but I'm not sure the photo is in focus. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:54, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment – Good EV but the file resolution is too low. At full size or even if zoomed in, I doubt the text is legible. For a map with so much detail and text, the resolution should be higher and the details should be clearer. Bammesk (talk) 01:17, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
